Lowe: What if the Spurs have some sort of Mills plan that's already locked into place

[TD 21]

They'll be hard pressed to get out of the 1st round as is anyway. Mills isn't changing the reality of the team. Spurs are who they are, they aren't a top contender even if their record suggest otherwise ( the league is so damn watered down its hard to tell).

They need throw Murray in the fire much like they did Parker in 01' to expedite his growth and the teams' growth. I see next year as a transitioning year much like 02-03' was from the start.

If they re-sign Mills and Dedmon, they'll be favorites to get out of the 1st round. Those two (because they're the pending UFA's) could be the difference between making the WCF and being bounced in the 1st round.

As we've discussed ad nauseam, they can still throw Murray in the fire, especially considering how limited they'd be financially if Mills and Dedmon were re-signed. Simmons or some comparable and either a rookie or veteran's minimum type would be the compe ion.

What's funny? Im not passing judgement (other than I personally don't think he's a starting caliber guard on a good team) just stating the facts of what Mills has said and other GM's. That's it.

I think you're taking it too literally and have also taken it out of context some. He didn't up and say it; it was in response to a question about it and he gave the expected, cliché response.

At any team that views him as a starter.

yeah paying porker 15M per is the much more reasonable option

Phatty is NOT a future HoF tho'.

4/40 or GTFO tbh

Multiple credible writers have said GMs told them they view Mills as a starter.

Yeah, Mills is good enough to start for a bottom feeder. But not many teams have playmaker at the 2 or 3 to make up for it.

Get your money Paddy!

I know. I wasn't questioning the veracity, but rather how ridiculous it is that any of them would.

True. A team like houston could get 15 points a game out of him if they trotted him out as a starter.

I am bumping this bc there is some discussion here about the offseason/CP3 etc... but I'd say Mills in a contract year has to make a compelling case for himself.
